Upstairs, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl ran down, with graceful eyebrows and a posture like autumn water, and she knew at a glance that she was a little beauty. It's just that the face hasn't fully grown yet, but over time, this appearance will not be bad.

Then a little maid ran down, shouting "Miss", and then two more servants followed, and hurriedly followed behind.

The steward of Maitreya Buddha hurriedly confessed to Li Xin, stepped forward and quietly stopped the young lady who was a little irritable, and said with a smiling face: "This young lady, where is our store not greeting well?" Miss dissipated her anger, you can rest assured, which guy who is not long-eyed has neglected you, and our store will definitely give Miss an explanation. ”

Li Xin stood still, perhaps saying that she had some urge to turn around and leave now.

Although it is not a narrow road, seeing Miss Cui Fu in such a way outside the Cui Mansion still makes her feel that "the world is really small".

The maid who followed the young lady was Yueya, and if she recognized Yueya, it was not difficult to guess who the young lady was.

Hearing Maitreya Buddha steward say this, the young lady snorted angrily, maybe she was also spoiled at home, and her attitude was a little arrogant, but she also had a little bit of a little girl's innocence, and said: "You Liuzhenfang is open to do business, how can you still divide people into a hierarchy?" It's all about buying your things, and you can't treat them equally? When things are put out, they are shown to people to buy, I can afford to buy them, you don't sell them, what do you put them out if you don't sell them! ”

Maitreya Buddha's steward paused his face, looked upstairs, and a guy bowed his head and whispered: "That red agate bead Hua Hu was the last time Mrs. Shen came to see it, and said that she would come back to see each other in two days to decide whether to buy it." So we can't sell it......"

The steward of Maitreya Buddha immediately understood, nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "This young lady, that Hua Hu is a lady who has taken a fancy to her." Let's open the door to do business, it's about integrity. If you promise to keep the beads, you can't sell them privately...... Would you like to see if there are any other favorites and our store will give you some discounts? ”

Miss Cui glared at Maitreya Buddha with hatred, waved her hand angrily and said, "She didn't buy it, why did she say that she would keep it for you?" Is this treasure shop opened by her? ”

"Little Ancestor, let's pick something else, don't be angry for a string of flowers......"

"That is to say, miss, it's not worth it to be angry with people for a string of gorgeous hair, and I don't know which lady it is......"

Two servant women rushed up to persuade him. Before he finished speaking, Miss Cui glared back, "Am I angry for a string of Hua Hu?" I feel like I've lost my family! No matter which lady she is, there is no reason to occupy things that do not belong to her and not let people buy them! ”

Yueya timidly called to the side: "Miss......"

"I ask you, which lady took a fancy to you and asked you to keep? I'd like to know who is so big! Miss Cui ignored Yueya. Ask yourself the Maitreya Buddha steward.

But Maitreya Buddha didn't want to cause trouble, and said vaguely: "That lady's husband's surname is Shen ......."

Before Miss Cui could understand, one of the servants took a breath, hurriedly grabbed Miss Cui, who was going to ask again, and urged repeatedly: "Little ancestor, I came out early in the morning to shop, go back and beware of Mrs. preaching, let's go back to the house, we will leave in two days, and you have to pack up a lot of things." ”

Without saying anything, he pulled someone and left.

Maitreya Buddha was still smiling: "This young lady will come again next time." We will definitely give you a discount. ”

Li Xin has been avoiding the side of a high counter, trying not to let the people of the Cui Mansion see him. This was to be recognized by Yueya and shouted out, although it was said that the Cui family and her were just a relationship between hiring and being employed, but now people are afraid that they will only say that she is a subordinate of their Cui Mansion. If you can avoid it, it's best to avoid it.

Yueya hurriedly ran out and didn't notice Li Xin. I saw that their maid accompanied the young lady into the sedan chair. Two servants followed the palanquin, and the four servants carried the palanquin away as the palanquin drivers.

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to the guy who whispered to Maitreya Buddha just now, he wiped his sweat and said, "This young lady of the Cui family is young and has a lot of courage......"

The steward of Maitreya Buddha patted the man's head, "What are you talking about, don't hurry up and get busy with business!" After speaking, he turned to Li Xin and said, "It's a little accident, don't be surprised, madam." I wonder how Madame thinks about it? ”

Li Xin raised his eyebrows: This steward's brain is turning fast enough, and he can come back and work on other things as soon as the first file is over.

Smiling, Li Xin said, "Half a tael of silver...... It's still a little expensive. ”

The steward was not angry, and said kindly: "Then according to Madame's view, how much is the right price?" ”

After calculating in his heart, Li Xin smiled and said: "In charge, I am not the kind of person who bargains with others, but I heard that any of your treasures are boutiques, so I fell in love and wanted to buy a jewelry for my future brother and daughter-in-law." Half a tael of silver is not too much, and it is not too little to say less, and the reputation of your shop is here, and I have no doubts. ”

Hearing her say that, the steward muttered in his heart, wondering whether she was sincerely praising her, or whether there was something in her words?

Li Xin said: "I really like those earrings, if it is half a tael of silver, I am afraid I will not be able to afford to buy them." You see, 700 dollars is a good price? ”

The weight of three denins of silver is worth six hundred denarii when converted. Li Xin's counteroffer is basically a hundred dollars more than manual and intermediate sales, which is really a bit shrewd.

The steward of Maitreya Buddha was also stunned, which was enough to drop three hundred dollars. smiled bitterly and said, "Madame's price is ......."

What Li Xin thought was that if the steward disagreed, she would just withdraw and leave. If you agree, the price is appropriate. Making handmade jewelry, there is a lot of profit in it, and she doesn't think that the price she pays back will make the seller lose money.

Save some money and buy other ones.

It is estimated that Miss Cui's trouble just now also had some impact on the Liuzhen Fang, and the steward of Maitreya Buddha did not refuse, but just asked Li Xin to wait for a while and entered a small door. Li Xin guessed that it should be the place where the shopkeeper stayed.

After a while, the steward of Maitreya Buddha came out with a smile on his face, "Madam." The shopkeeper of my house said, since Mrs. is going to have a happy event, it is not easy to bargain with you, seven hundred and fifty dollars. If you want, I'll give you a better package. The right is to celebrate the joy of the lady's family. But the craftsman also has to pick up two children from it, right? Seven hundred dollars, it's really ......"

The shopkeeper is simple, Li Xin is not the kind of person who bargains with people, after thinking about it for a while, he still nodded and said: "Then it's decided, seven hundred and fifty dollars, and the troublesome one in charge will give me a better package." ”

The steward of Maitreya Buddha hurriedly smiled and said, "Madame, don't worry. ”

The service speed of Liuzhenfang was very fast, and Li Xin waited a little and got the pair of earrings in his hand. Before going out, the Maitreya Buddha steward also greeted: "Madame, please go, welcome to come again next time." ”

Hurried back with earrings in hand. Just in time to make dinner. Li Xin was busy cooking, and put down the dishes and chopsticks after only two bites. Guan Wen also took advantage of the free time to rest after eating and went to his aunt's house.

Li Xin counted the things sent by the grocery store guys and put them aside. There is no mistake. When Guan Wen came back, Li Xin told him a little about today's shopping.

"The two taels of silver are almost spent, and when the second brother of Ming'er comes to pick them up, plus the rice noodles and chickens and ducks that I went to the nearby neighborhood to exchange, it will be about the same." As for the bride price, Li Xin thought about it and still felt that it was over. The Guan family has always shown that they have no money, and they have to buy two large baskets of dowry gifts and return the silver, and the people in the village will inevitably chew their tongues.

Guan Wen nodded, "It's all agreed with Changhui, he will go back to talk to the second brother in the next morning, and Ming'er will come to us with the second brother in the morning." directly picked a dowry to go to Hu's house, and no longer went to the house. ”

"Didn't you find an older lady or something?"

"I'm looking for it, the second brother went to ask for the apricot sister and her mother." Guan Wen took a sip of water and said slowly: "The eldest lady is a clever talker, so there will be no problem." Tell the Hu family better. The dowry is down. This marriage will not be yellow, and the Hu family will not be in a hurry. It doesn't matter if the girl of the Hu family is over eighteen. Waiting for a while to marry also makes. ”

Li Xin nodded, and suddenly felt relaxed, "When this matter is over, the burden on my body will be lighter." Seeing Guan Wen smiling slightly, Li Xin squinted his eyes and said, "I forgot to tell you, I thought that the girl of the Hu family had no jewelry and bought her a pair of silver earrings as a dowry at the bottom of the box." ”

Guan Wen was stunned, and Li Xin continued: "The girl's family, this time to get married, wear earrings to get married, and the two families have light on their faces. ”

"Xin'er, speaking of which, I haven't bought you clothes and jewelry when you marry me......" Guan Wen hugged Li Xin guiltily, rubbing his hand around her waist, "Do you complain about me?" ”

Li Xin didn't expect Guan Wen to want to go there, and chuckled: "What are you doing to complain?" It's not like I haven't worn gold and silver. Those yellow and white things are all false, and it is true that you are good to me. As he spoke, he pinched his ears: "The bamboo grasshopper you knitted for Shanzi when you came back to the door last time, and said that if I like it, I will also make one, when will I cash it out?" ”

Guan Wen shook her troublesome little hand, leaned close to her mouth and kissed it, "If you want, I'll make it up for you now." ”

The two of them were tired of it for a while, and when it was time to go to work again, they went to work.

On the second day, Guan Wu came with two baskets, accompanied by a young man who was about the same age as Guan Quan, lean, a little short, and quite handsome. Li Xin knew that this was Zhao Changhui, the eldest son of his aunt's family who he had never seen, and after being introduced by Guan Wen, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Eldest cousin, I will work hard for you this time." ”

Zhao Changhui looked a little shy, blushed shyly and replied, "It's not hard, it's not hard, it should be." ”

In a hurry, Guan Wen didn't talk nonsense, put the things into the basket one by one, Li Xin talked to Guan Wu about the dowry, and warned Guan Wu to explain the situation of the family to the Hu family, so as not to give goosebumps in the hearts of the in-laws.

Guan Wu responded one by one, and Li Xin took out the pair of earrings from his sleeve pocket and handed them to him, "This is for the girl of the Hu family to press the bottom of the box, I think she doesn't have any jewelry, she wore this when she got married." ”

Guan Wu hurriedly took it, his face was a little complicated, and he muttered for a while before saying, "How expensive is the jewelry...... Sister-in-law, you ......"

Li Xin smiled: "It's not expensive, the silver rewarded by Mrs. Cui has not cost us our own money." The Hu family is an only daughter, and she can't lose others. ”

Guan Wu carefully put away his things, and several times he wanted to speak and stopped, it seemed that he was hesitant, but after all, he still didn't say anything, and rushed back with two large baskets of dowry, saying that Xing'er Niang was still waiting for him in the village, and asked others to do things, so it was not good to make people wait more.

Li Xin prepared some dry food for Guan Wu to eat on the road, and asked Guan Wen to give him a cut, and the couple went to busy their own work again, just hoping that everything would go smoothly. (To be continued)
